Insights and what we can take away from the preseason ..

** Mitchell and Conley both think they can go score a bucket anytime they want. They're just being nice and letting the other guys play too.
** Mudiay is then like, "Yeah, hold my kombucha."
** I think Gobert would have taken the entire pre-season off if he wasn't needed to help acclimate the new players. He's been playing half speed unless the action comes right to him.
** The Jazz were probably trying some complicated plays that Bogdanovic wasn't grasping. They may have to simplify things for him for a while until he catches on.
** Teams seem to be trying to play at a very fast pace. This happened last year too at the beginning of the season.
** Tony Bradley is playable against a bunch of other teams' backups.
 
These are better, more complete highlights. I look at this and it's just a matter of Portland hitting tough, contested shots over and over. Our defense doesn't look that bad.

 
This jazz team is going to score at will. Bogie will remember it’s a basketball and not a giant orange in his hands then the team will get used to each other and start passing better. Mudiay loves to pass can pass does pass and is not afraid to take it to the rim. The season revolves around gobert getumRudy.

I'm puzzled by your statement, that Mitchell is "ready to take another step ON BOTH sides of the court." On the offensive side, yes. He looked more in control than ever. On the defensive side, though, he doesn't seem to be putting much effort. At least I did not see it. It is preseason, of course, and taking it easy is to be expected. Nevertheless, what makes you think that Mitchell will be much better defensively? I did not see any sign of it and I'm honestly curious.

His defense on team USA was killer good. No one is motivated to give 100% in preseason.

Every time he says practice substitute it for preseason.

 
Probably i'm wrong but it seems that this season the team's game will change. More talented offense and (i think) less defense. I think that the key to get playoffs last 3 years was defense. The fact is that the league is full of wild teams,that make a lot of threes and i ask myself if the jazz offense will be enough to win them. The team needs to defend like the last years and attack better,if not we are at the same point. I hope Quinn will get this defense-offense balance. Good luck

It's so nice to back a player since the Jazz drafted him and see him start to make it. Especially when I was ridiculed on this board for backing him. I've had a pretty good track record on seeing and evaluating talent. I was one of the first on this board to say that Exum was broken.

Let's just face it guys, I know a lot about basketball.
